Trecena of Deer/MANIK (aka Hand) – Dedicated to a Mission of Love
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

Greetings Beloved Kin,
Love is the highest priority for every living thing. Dog/OC, the Wolf, resides in the peak position of the uinal pyramid, the 20 days that reflect all the Divine Perspectives of the all-in-one. When we’re abandoned, the Creator makes a provision for receiving Love, no matter how different we may be. It’s said that some totems are with us for a time and a specific purpose, but when we are chosen by the Dog/Wolf, we’ll always be an equal member of the pack.
This round, 4 Dog/OC is aligned with a Solar Eclipse that brings an end to all the sorrows we’ve known in a life that came before. One cycle of the Sun’s Light for knowing is “finished” and a New Sun cycle begins. Love is always enough when that is the Intention of our Offering. The Creator will draw us in to a Divine Fold where we’ll always belong. The offering of our Human Ego is the Divine Surrender and a sacrifice from the Heart.
Deuteronomy 4:24 (2 Translations)
24 The LORD your God is a devouring fire; he is a jealous God. 24 God, your God, is not to be trifled with – he’s a consuming fire, a jealous God.
When we invest all our Faith in the Highest One, we’ll see our way through. Like the Dog/Wolf, when we realize the Truth of the Blessings the Creator intended to be, we’ll leave the scent of the trail back to the place where the treasure is found.
HOLY OBSERVANCE: GLOBAL BURNER DAY
4 Dog/OC is the Global Burner Day that resides at the Center of the First Season of our new life. Global Burners always fall on the 4th Tone of Stability. The 1st order of business at the beginning of a New Life is to claim the Creator’s foundation of Unconditional Love. The Deer/MANIK trecena shares a Divine Mission for our Life, through the Destiny of the Mayan priest. The mission of the Mayan priest is to Count the Days, and to carry out the rituals and sacred ceremonies that are ordered by Time. The Deer holds a power of Harmonic Resonance that draws lower vibrations into sympathy with the Sound of Pure Love. Today in the Maya lands, the rising Smoke and the smell of Copal are Signs for everyone to see that prayers are being offered on behalf of the whole. The Deer’s mission of Love carries out a way to Remember the exponential power of 2 that agree as 1 in a Divine Provision for every Human limitation.
Dog/OC holds position 10, the Higher One created through a whole investment of Love from the “lower place” (9). The Only One that shares the place at the top of the pyramid is Monkey/CHUEN, the Creator with the Consciousness to see the Beauty of Love and the Sense to apply Time to the Creation of the Greatest Masterpiece of our Life. The Dog reflects the Highest Source of Power as the 10, and the Monkey holds the position of the Master Number 11 as our Divine Inspiration from Above. Together, they remind us to put all our eggs in the Creator’s basket. That’s the place where the Truth of Unconditional Love will always be brought to Light. No Human endorsement will ever take the place of the Power we can grasp from Above.
Global Burners mark an end to a way of life we knew before. We are offered an opportunity to release all our Human sorrows for a brand new beginning. When we focus on the Love and Light of the Brightest Star that shines upon us, the tears born of our Human emotions will evaporate into thin air.
5 Monkey/CHUEN follows as an Intention of Empowerment. CHUEN is the “time weaver” that raises every thread of Beauty in the tapestry of our Life. Our Faith is always restored by the Consciousness that a Divine Creator transforms every experience into a Divine Meaning and Purpose. The Gift of Consciousness is the means of Knowing that the darkness is the means to imagine Beauty like we’ve never seen it before.
The Dog is the symbol of the Creator’s faithfulness and loyalty that will abide beyond Death. The Dog is the Master at our side that leads us back to our “home” in the Stars. The Milky Way is called “the place the Dog ran.” Sirius, the Dog Star, points to the belt of Orion and the Orion Nebula, the closest Star Nursery to Mother Earth. Sirius is the Brightest “Star” that can be seen by Human’s naked eye.
Through the Element of Air, Dog/OC offers the Breath of Life and Breath of Spirit. Residing in the North (the up above), the Love shines as the Highest Truth we can apply for the Discernment of Divine Wisdom. Love always finds its way into the Heart of the Human that suffers in the darkness below. Love speaks for itself as the Highest Truth of the One.
The Dog demonstrates a Divine Way to leave all our worries behind. The Dog engages all its senses to experience the Joy of Life. There’s no offense taken when a Human rejects the offering. The Dog doesn’t waste time taking it personally. It leaves the treasure for another time, and simply moves on to the next opportunity for the sacred exchange. CHUEN shares the Consciousness to see that there is a place for us to be Loved in every Moment of Every Day.
The Monkey is willing to make a fool of itself, as the trickster who sees all the Human monkey business in life. Through a sense of humor, we can laugh through our tears at how we imagine we could ever find Love in the down below as Beautiful and Perfect as the Love that’s offered from Above. Who are we kidding? Even when we hold the Highest Intentions to Love, we all fall short of the Highest Way. We can’t see the forest for the trees to notice the Beauty that lies in all 4 directions of Mother Earth. We screw up even when we’re trying to Love. (In the Year 12 Road/EB (Human) we’re intended to Understand what a messy business Love can be when Human leaves the offering at our door.)
The Divine Times we do see it, we’re captured by the Beauty of Light. The Creator can capture our attention by the Beauty of a Sunrise, a Sunset, a Glint on a rose, or by the smell of its sweet perfume carried on a breeze. Every Life created was intended it’s own Time and Place to rise from the ashes of its past. We don’t ever have to be Seen and Acknowledged by another Human Being to realize the Love of a Creator who intended Beauty as an end for every living thing.
May we kneel only to the Highest One to claim the Source for every Blessing of Love we are intended to know in our life. In a New Season of Solar Light, a Time is already written for our Beauty to shine, just as it’s meant to be for every other One of Us in sweet harmony. Love holds the Power to heal us and save our life. That’s a debt of gratitude we never forget.
All the darkness raised to Light was an Offering to see where we lost sight of the “everyday” Beauty of Love. When we rediscover the Blessing, a new light will shine from our eyes. Memories of Love are the scent of a trail will shine from the treasure that was lost, and waiting to be found. The Creator shines the way “home” where we will always belong.
A Divine Creator will dig a hole under any fence to reach us, if we think the Light can only be found in someone else’s yard. We’re planted exactly where we’re supposed to be. The New Seed is reaching the end of an old trail, and the beginning of a Journey that’s blessed by the Light to See.
When we can’t see the beauty in what the Dog brings home, the treasure can be seen in the Dog’s eyes. 4 Dog/OC’s Destiny Kin is 30, the Power of Divine Trinity held in the Higher Place. Every Human offering is bound together as the Legion of Light, second only to the perfection of the Creator’s Love.
May we bear the Time it takes to be transformed into the “eye of the beholder” that looks to see the Beauty that’s always here and now. May we draw the Sacred Breath of fresh air that is offered after every storm and through the chaos of every Major Life Change. A Solar eclipse lies beyond our darkest night and the Light of a New Sun will remind us again.
May we claim the way of our Ego is finished, when we remember how Love always heals our Heart and Soul.
in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra, Jaguar Woman/9 Eagle/MEN
PS. We really do Love each other. The Creator proves it in the wake of every hurricane, when we forget our differences and run to save another.
The experts at the Wolf Conservation Center say that Wolves howl to define the territory of their pack, and that it also strengthens their bond of love. The Sound of our Love will carry when we use the Sacred Breath to howl in the Light of the Sun, Moon, and the Stars. (The dog next door seems to understand what it means when I do.) It doesn’t have to be loud enough for the neighbors to hear, when you share the passion in your heart.

4 Dog/OC (Cherokee, WOLF/KANA’TI)
Description by Ian Xel Lungold
Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.
Dog/OC: Courageous, loyal and warm-hearted, very alert and valiant, people born of Dog are respected for their sense of justice and their protection. People born of the sun sign Dog are very sensual and know how to enjoy life. Playfulness and a good understanding of the basic human nature lead to prosperity for Dog. Dogs are good team players who love to travel and have a keen sense of their position in society. Dogs are ambitious and will take opportunities when they offer themselves, including infidelities. Dog persons share the nature of coyotes, spies, wolves and lawyers
Cherokee, WOLF/KANA’TI: Wolf’s symbol is Sirius (Dog star) and Antares, one or the other always visable but never at the same time. Wolf is our brother, shares our very roots. All dogs are domesticated wolves, companionship and guidance. Connecting link between the worlds. One who inspires loyalty, diplomacy and sense of humor with unlimited potential. A teacher, healer, pathfinder and transformer. Sharp as obsidian, gentle as a lamb. Totem -Dog. Loyalty and faithfulness that survives beyond death. This was the first day of creation energy in this 4th world, sets the energy for love, loyalty and faithfulness on the 5200 year cycle. Heart chakra energy is involved so that we can move to the state of “unconditional love” with compassion. All sexual desire issues that are not in harmony will surface to be cleared.
